Newspaper articles on Mr. Babylon

August 25, 2006

Two very nice articles have been written about my father-in-law, former Westminster Common Council President David S. Babylon, Jr. passing away.

Although our family would have certainly rather attention had been given to Mr. Babylon’s accomplishments under different circumstances, it has been heartwarming to see friends and neighbors turn out for visitation and to read about a celebration of his life in the newspaper.

And a special thank you goes out to the Westminster Fire Department for the outpouring of help and comfort last Tuesday night when he passed away.

Since June 1^st, 1949, on countless occasions, my father-in-law has left the comfort of home, office and family to go out into the night with the fire department, to provide a public service of public safety to citizens in need.

It was nice to see the outpouring of the membership to our home when Mr. Babylon was in a time of need. Ultimately, it was Mr. Babylon’s time to be called home and he is at peace now - in spite of the incredible efforts of the EMS personnel from the Westminster Fire Department.

Mr. Babylon’s obituary can be found here. Marjorie Censer, with the Carroll County Times has an article here. And Fred Rasmussen wrote an article in the Baltimore Sun here.
